How to Build Gaige in Borderlands 2
If you prefer to play alone, then making Gaige and Deathtrap into a self-sufficient pairing is going to be the name of your game. With that in mind it’s time to give Deathtrap a yummy upgrade with a laser cannon on his face. Dipping quickly into the Little Big Trouble tree will allow you to pick up The Stare. Getting to it by throwing 5 points into Myelin is a surefire way to help keep yourself alive too.
After this you could go down the Little Big Trouble tree and become more of an elemental powerhouse. There is, however, another way. A way to bring yet more Anarchy to the world ofBorderlands 2.
That’s done by going into the aptly named Ordered Chaos Tree. The opening skills in this tree set the tone for your whole journey throughout the game from this point on. Whenever an enemy is killed or you reload at the end of your clip, a stack of Anarchy is added to Gaige.
Getting a healthy sum of these in your hands will give Gaige a huge Gun Damage boost, while slowly chipping away at her Accuracy. If you’ve followed the leveling build that went before this page, now is a good time to go back to the drawing bored and remove the points from Cooking Up Trouble and putting them into Close Enough instead.
Where to go next is pretty self explanatory. Just run down the Ordered Chaos tree, gleefully throwing points into whatever feels best (or is listed above). Doing this will make enemies harder to hit, but much more satisfying when you do manage to land a bullet on their heads. Having those ricochet skills also helps.
One thing you simply must do though is put a point into Discord. Without Cooking Up Trouble, this will likely be your main way to regain health. Only ever manually reload whenever you need more health because Discord will give you health back after a reload, at the cost of all those lovely Anarchy stacks. It’s okay though, because the other talents here will help you to get them back.
Playing with other people more your game? Well we’ve got a suggested cooperative play build on the next page. This build will easily do well in multiplayer games of Borderlands 2 if you’re comfortable with it.
